Begin your day with a warm welcome in Florence, where you’ll meet your professional guide. Settle into your comfortable Mercedes minibus and enjoy a relaxing drive through the rolling hills of Tuscany. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the world of Chianti Classico, preparing your palate for a day filled with flavor, tradition, and breathtaking landscapes.
Stop at an ancient noble estate nestled among olive groves and cypresses. Here, you’ll take a guided tour of a beautifully preserved olive oil mill that blends centuries-old tradition with modern techniques. Learn how extra virgin olive oil is produced, from harvest to press, and enjoy a guided tasting session of premium oils. Discover how texture, color, and flavor vary by terrain and production methods, and learn to pair olive oil with food like a local.
Head to a boutique winery in the heart of Chianti Classico. Walk through historic cellars and sun-drenched vineyards as your sommelier explains how Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and other native grapes are blended to create one of the most famous wines in the world. Enjoy a tasting of selected vintages, learning how to assess aroma, structure, acidity, and finish — all while surrounded by views of the Tuscan countryside.
No trip to Chianti is complete without exploring one of its iconic medieval villages. Enjoy free time to stroll the cobbled streets of an enchanting Medieval village, browse the local bottegas, and take photos in its postcard-worthy piazza. Your guide will share insights into the area’s history, culture, and importance to Tuscan identity.
Continue your journey to another scenic winery, where you’ll be treated to a 3-course gourmet Tuscan lunch, served with perfectly paired wines. Savor authentic regional dishes made with fresh, local ingredients as you dine in an intimate, rustic setting. Your sommelier will guide you through the food and wine pairings, highlighting how Chianti wines enhance the flavors of Tuscan cuisine.
As the sun begins to set over the vineyards, relax on your return journey to Florence. Soak in the last views of olive groves and castles, reflect on everything you’ve learned, and ask your sommelier any lingering questions about the wines, olive oil, or Tuscan traditions. Expect to return with lasting memories—and maybe even a bottle or two. Then, head back to Florence in a confortable Mercedes Minivan or Mercedes Sprinter
A big variety of different wines and vineyards. The first winery and olive mill was top notch in what we saw, presentation during wine tasting and wines. The food was great at second location with great views and a humorous host. I would not recommend the third vineyard, very subpar.
It was a fun day at three very different wineries in Tuscany. Our tour guide Peter and the winery guides were excellent. The countryside was beautiful as well.
Great trip. Definitely worth the time and money. Beautiful vineyards, photo ops and great staff at each vineyard. FYI…..you start sipping wine at 10:15 am, if you’re ok with that 😏 our guide—Yo— was great.
Daria is the best tour guide we have had in our 9 days in Florence so far. This tour was also 100 times better than the other tour we took earlier this week which was supposed to include a Tuscan wine tasting but we had to stand, hold both food and wine (a much smaller portion) which barely lasted 10.minutes. Daria was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend to everyone!
We took a trip to three different wineries excellent views . Christina was amazing!!
The wine tour was amazing! Got to see some beautiful vineyards and even made a stop at the piazzale Michelangelo for a breathtaking view of the city. Our guide, Ila, was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and brought good vibes to the trip.
Peter was an awesome driver and guide for this unique experience in the countryside. We enjoyed the tastings and visiting the various vineyards. It was one of the best days of our 16 day journey through Europe.
What a great day! Getting into the country for a day was amazing. Peter was an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and a terrific host. The winery and olive oil staff were welcoming as well. Excellent day!
Peter was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly.
This experience was amazing!! We started in the morning and drove to a beautiful winery. After that, we were treated to an amazing lunch and wine pairing. We ended the day with a tour of a winery and olive oil farm. Sara was an amazing tour guide. This has probably been the most fun we’ve had in Italy.
The tour was very interesting and the guide was fantastic. The beautiful landscape was breathtaking and the wine tastings were fun. I would do the tour again.
The experience was excellent. The wineries were lovely and we enjoyed lunch. However, the bus seats were super uncomfortable. It really took away from the experience. There was no room!
Great fun. Knowledgeable guides. Learned a lot about Chianti. Not as much olive oil as I was hoping. Well worth the time. Pace yourself!! Visited 3 wineries. One newer one and a couple older. Nothing was rushed but didn't drag either. Enough time to appreciate each stop.
Great day. Everything was as promised. Visit in three wineries, taste olive oil and excellent wines. Guide told us background of area, wineries and wines. We really enjoy. And of course bought some wine straight from winery.
Excellent and interesting trip across Tuscan wine producing areas
Tania (through Towns of Italy) was an amazing guide/driver/host. She was well versed in history and knowledgeable about both the olive oil and wine industry. She explained what we were seeing as we traveled through the countryside and allowed time for pictures and questions. It was a lovely tour, all around...highly recommended!
Beside the three wineries, the drive through the beautiful hills of Tuscany was amazing. The hosts at the wineries did a great job talking about their wines and olive oils. Our driver was knowledgeable about the area, wine and olive oil so added greatly to the tour. It was nice to get out of the city.
Wonderful! Tour guide excellent as were the winery families! Don’t miss this trip!! Roads traveled can be a bit bumpy but our driver was excellent
The tour was good. It was supposed to be a maximum of 8 people in a Mercedes Van, which it was not. I called Viator and they just said that’s not what I booked, but my voucher said it was.
This tour into the Tuscany area was amazing. Beautiful countryside and great wine. Interesting to see the different family run vineyards. Would highly recommend our guide Peter as he was very informative and easy conversations.
Peter our guide was exceptional, knowledgeable, he explained everything in detail how olive oil was made. Loved the 3 places we visited. Great tour.
Thank you Carlotta and Towns of Italy for a fabulous day traveling the Tuscan countryside to taste the wonderful wine and olive oil!
Peter and Lorenzo were amazing tour guides! The wineries were very scenic and beautiful. I'd highly recommend this tour if you are looking to spend a relaxing day in beautiful Tuscany.
Peter was wonderful & very kind. Knowledgeable and a wine lover. The three wineries we toured were full of charm and friendly staff & sommeliers. We would highly recommend.
Excellent tour!!! Very much in line with the expectation we had to know the Chianti!!! I highly recommend the experience and more if you are guided by Cristina
